Gate of God

Panda Novel

“Kill you?” Emperor Yun squinted, and the Demon Eye on his forehead even exuded a dazzling radiance. “Alright, then I will kill you first!”

“No! Demon Lord, it isn’t wise to kill a general while we are facing such a tough enemy!”

“Yes, Demon Lord, please let Domain Chief Ying off this time.”

“Demon Lord, please forgive Domain Chief Ying just this once considering his past contributions!”

All the Elders of the Demon Race turned grim when they heard Emperor Yun. After all, Ying Dao was one of the 10 Domain Chiefs. Furthermore, Yun Qingwu placed much trust in him. If the Demon Lord had really killed him, how could they explain it to her?

Hmph! Without saying another word, Emperor Yun kicked Ying Dao away and walked out of Demonic Hall.

Ying Dao rolled to the side after Emperor Yun kicked him. He clenched his fists extremely tightly with a grudging look.

“Domain Chief Ying, in my opinion, it’s better to let Demon Lord spectate the battle. After all, given his strength, in addition to our protection, it’s impossible for anything to go wrong.” One of the Elders sighed and began persuading Ying Dao after seeing his state.

“Impossible for anything to go wrong?!” Ying Dao gritted his teeth and flipped right back his feet. Then, with a chilling glare in his eyes, he said, “Which one of us could stop Meng Tian? If Meng Tian is here for the Demon Lord, you should know what would happen, Sixth Elder!”

“Well…” The Sixth Elder didn’t know how to reply. He shook his head and stopped trying to persuade Ying Dao. Instead, he quickly followed Emperor Yun out of the Demonic Hall.

“Damn it!” Ying Dao yelled angrily and punched a pillar in the hall. The massive power was enough to shake the pillar which was made of metal. However, this was definitely not capable of changing Emperor Yun’s mind.

That was because the only people left in the Demonic Hall were him and several other Demon soldiers who were guarding the hall. All the other Domain Chiefs and Elders had already left the hall.

Ying Dao clenched his fists so tightly that they were cracking. However, he eventually made up his mind and walked out of the hall.

…

The guards and the general were still waiting outside of the hall.

Soon, a dozen people appeared, and the current Demon Lord was at the front, followed by the Elders and the Domain Chiefs.

“Demon Lord!” The guards quickly greeted Emperor Yun as soon as they saw him.

“Alright, where’s Meng Tian?” Emperor Yun nodded softly after hearing them and threw them a question right off the bat.

“He’s right outside Blood Shadow City, together with Master Lin Ji and…”

“Are you the Demon Lord?” While the soldiers were ready to respond, the general standing beside them suddenly spoke.

“Hmm?!” Emperor Yun looked a little startled.

The soldiers, Elders, and Domain Chiefs were equally surprised, and they quickly diverted their attention to the general.

Was it possible for a general who was tasked to guard the gates of Blood Shadow City to not know how the Demon Lord looked like? It was obviously impossible.

A spy!

Swoosh! All the soldiers raised their spears in a split second and pointed the tips towards the general’s throat.

The Elders, on the other hand, quickly shielded the Demon Lord. All of them looked extremely vigilant while they watched the general.

“It seems like… You are really the Demon Lord.” The general raised his eyes at this moment and there was a silvery radiance in his eyes.

“Who are you?!” The Elders asked in unison.

“My first name is Meng, and my name is Tian.” The general removed his helmet as he said that to reveal his tied-up hair.

The wind blew his human-skin mask away. However, instead of his true identity, they only saw a black facial mask with a huge ‘GOD’ written atop. It looked extremely weird.

“Meng Tian?!”

“Sagely Battle God, Meng Tian?!”

“That’s impossible, how could Meng Tian…”

“Quick, return to the Demonic Hall and protect the Demon Lord!”

The Elders of the Demon Race and the Domain Chiefs were all alarmed were they saw the black facial mask with the word ‘GOD’ written on top of it.

As the saying went, “The power of influence is significant”. Meng Tian’s name had already left a mark in the hearts of the Demon Race.

Most importantly, Meng Tian wasn’t actually outside of Blood Shadow City. He had already come to the center of the city and arrived at the doorstep of Demonic Hall.

How could they remain calm?!

“Do you guys really have to be so nervous? I’m not nervous even though I am the one who is surrounded. Demon Lord, do you really need to be so afraid?” Fang Zhengzhi, disguised as Meng Tian, started laughing at them.

“You… How did you get…”

“How did I get here? It’s really easy. I just have to find out who is the general in charge of guarding the gates tonight, then… Slash!” As Fang Zhengzhi said that, he made a throat-slitting gesture. Then, he casually took a step forward and continued, “What happens next is even simpler. I just have to hold the letter and no one would stop me!”

“That explains it. However, we didn’t expect the Sagely Battle God to do something as cunning as infiltrating Blood Shadow City by pretending as a Demon soldier. Aren’t you afraid of mockery?” The Elders of the Demon Race quickly understood how he got in.

“People could mock me all they want, I don’t care.” Fang Zhengzhi continued.

“Meng Tian, since you’ve already succeeded in getting close to me, why didn’t you attack me straightaway? Why did you expose your identity so easily? If you had attacked me just now, I could have been dead already!” Emperor Yun stopped the Elders from talking and asked with a chilling flash in his eyes.

After all, he really didn’t understand why ‘Meng Tian’ had not attacked just now, and instead gave him enough time to prepare himself.

Was it confidence?

If that was the case, then how arrogant could ‘Meng Tian’ be?

“Sneak attack? Hmm… I’ve actually thought about it. However, after thinking about it, I felt that you didn’t seem to be worthy. What do you think about this reason?” Fang Zhengzhi nodded and replied. He was looking at the Demon Lord condescendingly.

As he said that, he drew the sword hanging at his waist, and a chilling light reflected off its blade.

“You are courting death!” Demon Lord yelled coldly.

“Hurry up and stop him!”

“Take him down!”

“Attack him together and protect the Demon Lord!”

All the Elders and Domain Chiefs started shouting after they heard the Demon Lord. All of them quickly aimed their weapons at ‘Meng Tian’.

At the meantime, two of the Domain Chiefs rushed out from beside the Demon Lord and charged towards Fang Zhengzhi from both left and right.

Fang Zhengzhi glanced at the two Domain Chiefs, then at the Demon Lord, who was protected by the Elders, and he sighed.

In fact…

It wasn’t just for show. He was actually feeling a little frustrated. That was because he came to Blood Shadow City this time for Yun Qingwu instead of the Demon Lord.

However, Yun Qingwu left the city three days ago?

She wasn’t in Blood Shadow City anymore!

That made things somewhat awkward.

According to his original plan, Yun Qingwu should be currently planning out her entire scheme while also guessing about ‘Meng Tian’s’ true identity.

Under such conditions, no matter how intelligent she was, she would never expect ‘Meng Tian’ to suddenly appear in front of her.

After all, given Meng Tian’s reputation, he would never bother with a sneak attack.

A hundred years ago, Meng Tian chased after the previous Demon Lord, Si Kong. Back in those days, the Demon Race was at its peak, unlike the current Demon Race.

Despite facing the Demon Race at its peak, Meng Tian still stormed into Blood Shadow City through its front doors alone with his sword, killing Demon Lord Si Kong and leaving behind an unremovable mark in the city.

How could such a hero pretend to be a Demon general, sneak into Blood Shadow City’s Demonic Hall, and attack Yun Qingwu without a warning?

Fang Zhengzhi was certain that Yun Qingwu would never see it coming.

The reality had indeed proved that Yun Qingwu hadn’t expected this. Or else, there would be a trap waiting for Fang Zhengzhi, instead of this chaotic scenario playing out before him.

“I knew it, even the greatest plan requires a little bit of luck.” Fang Zhengzhi felt helpless. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because now that his acts were exposed, it’d nearly impossible to sneak up on Yun Qingwu again.

‘Keep quiet, get out of Blood Shadow City, and wait for Yun Qingwu to return?’

That was close to impossible.

Putting aside the fact that the Demon soldiers had already suspected him due to his slip of the tongue, it wasn’t possible to alter the reality that he had killed the Demon general guarding the gates.

Therefore, regardless of Fang Zhengzhi’s desire, his plan had already been exposed.

Since it was already exposed…

He had to make something out of it, right?

His sword moved. He rushed towards the two Domain Chiefs instead of retreating. His body jolted violently and created three splitting images in the air.

“Oh crap!”

“He’s too close, protect the Demon Lord first!”

Several Elders felt an intense sense of crisis when they saw three ‘Meng Tian’ standing in front of them.

They pulled the Demon Lord back towards the hall without any hesitation.

The soldiers standing at the side also moved. They split into three teams instantly and jabbed at the three ‘Meng Tian’ with their spears.

However, just as the soldiers and Domain Chiefs’ attacks were about to hit them, the three ‘Meng Tian’ disappeared.

Roar! At this moment, they heard a loud dragon roar. Its powerful aura was as frightening as the ocean which has no boundaries.

…

Ying Dao was pissed off. He wanted to rush out of the hall to stop the Demon Lord. Even if the Demon Lord would kill him, he had to do it.

However, before he could step out of the hall completely, he suddenly saw the Demon Lord rushing towards him behind the protection of several Elders.

‘Demon Lord?’ While Ying Dao was confused, he suddenly saw a radiance at the corner of his eyes. It was as bright as if the moon had suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a radiance that had shot up into the sky outside the Demonic Hall. It was silvery like the moon and soared towards the sky like a massive dragon.

“Oh my god, what kind of power is that?!”

“Oh crap, get out of its way!”

“Stop it and don’t hide. Protect the Demon Lord!!!”

The Domain Chiefs and Elders were shouting amidst the loud dragon roar.

Ying Dao was also stumped.

Everything happened in an instant. In the next moment, the dragon had already descended. It wasn’t too fast, but it was violently powerful and unopposable. The vivid dragon’s head exuded a silvery radiance while its lively eyes felt chilling.

“What?!” Ying Dao opened his eyes wide from astonishment. He intuitively wanted to dodge the dragon as it descended, but as soon as he had just taken a step, his body stopped.

That was because the silver dragon’s sharp claws were moving towards the Demon Lord, who was protected by the Elders and had no way to evade it.

It was close, too close!

Ying Dao could see the dragon opening its mouth, even its teeth were visible.

“Demon Lord!” Ying Dao moved bolted towards the dragon at this moment. A blood-red saber appeared in his hand.

A red radiance appeared. However, as compared to the powerful silver dragon, it was as insignificant as a firefly in the moonlight.

Boom!

The silver dragon descended and blasted Ying Dao away as expected. Its sharp claws tore apart the radiance on his body and continued towards the Demon Lord like a sharp sword.

“No!” Emperor Yun screamed helplessly at this moment.

“Demon Lord!” Several Elders shouted and they pushed him away.

At the meantime, the silver dragon’s sharp claws descended. A violent power blasted the foundation of the Demonic Hall, which was built with giant black rocks.

Crack! The foundation shattered and turned into rubbles.

However, the massive power didn’t disappear. The silver dragon charged into the Demonic Hall like a silver light beam.

There was a momentary silence.

Then, the world seemed to have calmed down. However, shortly after the calm, they heard a loud explosion.

Boom! Dust flew everywhere
